Thank you to all that participated. It was absolutely awesome to see the camaraderie between aerobatic pilots, balloonists, sky divers, paragliders, gliders, "war birds", gyro pilots, trike pilots, modellers, LSA pilots, flight schools, suppliers, media participants, the Tedderfield owners and mgt. etc Yes, kids in nappies, John Martin ( WWII Spitfire Pilot aged 90), Commercial Pilots and all types of pilots and wannabe pilots attended to share a story and to enjoy what others had to offer. The sharing by so many is what made the day.
I am gathering pictures and will publish an album in a couple of days time.
Fly safe
NEMO
I have now joined the ranks of wannabe pilots!
